Chapter 2 Working with Media

The Media Files Window

Avid FX uses media from your Avid editing application, files located on other systems or

networks, external media using a variety of formats, or media you have created within the

Avid FX application. So, when working on different projects, you can easily lose track of the

location of your media. This is where the Media Files window becomes useful as it:

• Lists all external media files in your project

• Provides the path of each media file

• Helps locate missing media

• Replaces and relinks files instantly

To access the Media Files window:

t Select Window > Media Files Window.

From this window, you learn the number of files that you are using as well as the path

and location, whether there are any missing files, and the location or path of the files on

your system.

Opening the Location of Media Files

There is a quick way to go directly to the location of the file in Windows Explorer.

To open the location of a media file:

1. Open the Media Files window.

2. Select the file and click Reveal.

This opens an Explorer window showing the exact location of the file.
